My very own Nook!

Big news! I've decided that as much as I like the ebook experience, it's time to upgrade to the real deal: an ebook reader. My iPhone works well, but with all of Apple's threats and the limited battery life that I get reading on my phone, I've decided that having a dedicated reader is my goal.

And of course I chose the Nook! Among the things I like about it is the fact that it allows for much more flexibility with format, so that I can sideload Adobe Digital Editions DRM books such as library ebooks.

Barnes & Noble sells refurbished Nooks for a reduced price — click on the image for more information. I'll probably be getting the basic model, because it's supposedly a little lighter and because I don't anticipate needing to download books when I don't have a wifi connection. All I have to do is find a Starbucks, anyways, right?

I should be getting my Nook next month for my birthday. I'm so excited!

About Me

A voracious reader since childhood, I actually can't remember a time when I couldn't read. My claim to fame in school was having a new reading book with me almost every day. Now a freelance writer, aspiring novelist, and a part-time nanny, I still enjoy reading -- and sharing what I read -- as much as ever!

About My Blog

Livre du Jour, a.k.a. My Book of the Day Blog, is primarily devoted to reviewing the books I read. You'll find there is a little something for almost everyone here: mainstream fiction, classics and literature, children's and YA, romance, and even some nonfiction. A huge fan of the digital book market, I also frequently blog about industry news and opportunities to download free ebooks.
